Stamford Police Sgt. Joseph Kennedy said Jeisson Garcia, 22, was arrested for repeatedly beating his girlfriend going as far back as December or January from the evidence collected during a month-long investigation.

Garcia was charged with strangulation, unlawful restraint, the risk of injury to a child, several assault charges, and criminal mischief, police said.

On at least one occasion, the beating caused severe bruising and contusions, Kennedy said.

"There seems to a pattern of abuse happening with Mr. Garcia and his girlfriend," he said.

The investigation is ongoing. Because of privacy issues for the victim, he declined to comment further.
